Bible Comments

Jesus Reveals the Treachery (Mark 14:18-21 *, Matthew 26:21-25 *).

Luke 22:21. The word translated but is one frequently used by Lk. as a transition particle; there is no close connexion with the preceding verse.

Luke 22:22. Cf. Mark 14:21; the change from as it. is written to as it hath been determined is perhaps due to Lk.'s inability to find an OT prediction.

Luke 22:21-23

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
